English language and English tests

All teaching at Birmingham City University is carried out in English, so you must have a required proficiency in the language.

A range of courses are available to help you reach this level of proficiency:

United Kingdom Visas and Immigration (UKVI) approved tests

If you have to obtain a student visa before travelling to the UK and enrolling on a full-time course at a UK university, you will be classed as a Visa National by United Kingdom Visas and Immigration (UKVI).

If your English has not been taught and assessed, you will have to pass a UKVI-approved Secure English Language Test (SELT).
